'Nearer, My God, To Thee'

Hopefully, one week from now at this time, (9:30ish) I will have just crossed the finish line of an Ironman. Little I do will help me now, but there are a ton of things that could cause major problems. Every step I take is full of extra care.

Before my first half-Ironman in Austin this past October I was a mess. I think the association with a race branded with Ironman was what really gave it more power. Now, I feel pretty well battle tested. And oddly, I have a good and calm feeling about the upcoming race.

I just can't tell if it is the same kind of peace that the band on the Titanic had.
